Through the window
I was moderately pleased with spotting this little juxtaposition of one of the best buildings in Cambridge (what was once Fosters' Bank, now Lloyds, on Sidney St) with part of one of the worst (Petty Cury and the Lion Yard).

Minor editing - I shot this at ISO800 by mistake, and so needed to do a little noise cleaning up. I also adjusted curves and levels.

Disco Loo #4
The last (you may be pleased to hear) in my disco loo series. This was the most posed of them all, and the only one where the people weren't moving, so a slightly different feel to the others.

Camera model : Canon EOS 350D DIGITAL Date/Time : 2006:12:07 21:53:54 Flash used : No Focal length : 55.0mm (35mm equiv: 89mm) CCD width : 22.17mm Exposure time: 0.033 s (1/30) Aperture : f/5.6 ISO equiv. : 800 Whitebalance : Auto Exposure : shutter priority (semi-auto) |
Minor crop and a possibly a tiny rotation, and I widened the gap between head and post on the left (which might explain why he has such a strange shaped back of his head).

Disco Loo #3
Third in my series from the Cambridge Disco Loo. Things were just getting silly now.

Again, just crop and possibly minor rotate on this.

Disco Loo #2
So, continuing the "Disco Loo" theme, after failing to get enough strangers walking past to get decent photos, I went away and recruited friends to do it for me.

Camera model : Canon EOS 350D DIGITAL Date/Time : 2006:12:07 21:51:50 Flash used : No Focal length : 55.0mm (35mm equiv: 89mm) CCD width : 22.17mm Exposure time: 0.033 s (1/30) Aperture : f/5.6 ISO equiv. : 800 Whitebalance : Auto Exposure : shutter priority (semi-auto) |
Again, only post processing on this is a crop and minor rotation.

Disco Loo #1
First of a set of three, or maybe four, that I took at Cambridge's Disco Loos last week. Yes, I was standing outside in the middle of the night taking photos of a public convenience. I had quite definite ideas about what I wanted to take and this one is closest to that, but none of them came out quite as I'd expected. This is largely because so few people seemed to walk past at that time of night, so I didn't get many chances.
I'll post the rest in this little series over the next few days.

Very little post processing on this - just a crop, and possibly a minor rotation.

Compositionally, I'm quite pleased with this. Technically, there is a lot I would like to improve: I wanted more depth of field, but that would need more aperture and was already down to 1/20th of a second. As a result (it was handheld on a very windy day) there's a bit of camera shake on this full size. I really struggled to post-process this too; just couldn't get something that I liked. Anyway, here it is, for what it's worth.

I spent a long time fannying around with black and white versions of this, but couldn't get it to work. This version just had a crop, curves, vignette, and unsharp mask.
